All the stands are in great shape and my deer population may be at an all time High. I picked up a new 200-acre piece of property to hunt and will try to get it scouted some by the late season. I know the place and it has not been hunted in several years. Just 12-miles from the house, it will be handy.

The drought has not hurt me. I have a good mast crop and a booming persimmon crop. Have a seen a couple medium bucks, maybe in the upper 120's but nothing to get excited about.

We open next weekend so I'll keep you posted. I need to take at least six mature does off one property and probably that many off the other. Reckon I'll have to get busy.
